Positioned in sought-after Ridgecrest, this substantial Wanaka estate offers a combination that is increasingly difficult to find - 4,416sqm (more or less) of land, a 485sqm residence, uninterrupted Lake Wanaka and mountain views, and the space and privacy to make the most of the Central Otago lifestyle.

From its elevated position, the home captures all-day sun and an ever-changing outlook across the lake and Southern Alps. Here, the scenery isn't simply something to admire from outside - it becomes part of everyday life, with expansive glazing and carefully considered living spaces designed to bring the landscape in.

Arriving via the sweeping driveway, the scale of the property becomes immediately apparent. Inside, warm timber, natural schist and soaring ceilings create a sense of understated quality, while the home's generous proportions provide plenty of room for both family life and entertaining.

At the heart of the home, the designer kitchen connects effortlessly with open-plan living and dining, while additional living spaces provide flexibility for relaxed family time or larger gatherings. Wherever you are in the home, the focus remains firmly on the lake and mountains beyond.

Step outside and the property really comes into its own.

The beautifully landscaped grounds provide an exceptional sense of space and privacy, while the outdoor entertaining area has been designed for enjoying Wanaka at its best. An outdoor fireplace and built-in bar create a natural gathering place for summer evenings, long lunches and entertaining friends, with the lake providing an unforgettable backdrop.

The accommodation is equally versatile. Four spacious bedrooms include a generous master suite with ensuite and tranquil outlook. A separate self-contained guest accommodation adds another dimension to the property, complete with its own kitchen, bathroom and open-plan living and sleeping area.

Whether used for extended family, visiting guests or short-term accommodation, this separate space provides flexibility while maintaining privacy from the main residence.

And for those drawn to Wanaka for its outdoor lifestyle, the garaging is a genuine point of difference.

Four-car garaging, extensive off-street parking and an oversized high-stud garage bay provide ample room for boats, motorhomes, caravans, vehicles and recreational equipment - making this a property designed not only for beautiful living, but for the lifestyle that comes with it.

Year-round comfort is supported by a geothermal heat exchange system providing underfloor heating and hot water, while the home's generous scale ensures there is room for everyone and everything.

This is a property that offers more than an impressive home. It offers land, privacy, flexibility and a remarkable position in one of Wanaka's most desirable residential areas.

For buyers seeking a substantial Wanaka residence with genuine space to live, entertain and embrace the outdoors, this is an opportunity worth experiencing in person.

Viewings are highly recommended to appreciate the scale, setting and possibilities this exceptional property offers.
